ST.. AUGUSTINE, June 29.-The com
mencement exercises of st. Josephs
Academy, occurred yesterday afternoon,
as previously announced. The pro-
gramme proved an admirable one. The
graduating class for 1887 was composed
of six young ladies', to-wit: Misses Capo.
Joseph, MickIer, of st. Augustine; Smoke,
of Micanopy; Fries. of Orlando; and
Aveilhe, of Savannah, Ga. Miss CapO
read the salutatory with "A confident
voice, faultIess articulation and graceful
manner Miss Joseph won the first
honor, and of course delivered
the valedictory. Her voice and
manner were wonderfully suited to this
particular and important task. Miss
Mickler won the gold medal for mathe-
matics; Miss Julia A eilhe, medal for
painting and drawing; Miss Smoke
proved herself young lady of varied re-
sources for rendering an exhibition in
teresting and successful and appeared
frequently upon the stage. The essays
of all the young ladies' We're of superior
diction-their thoughts took a wide
range-and read with good effect, show
ing they had received a thorough
training.
Miss Hartman, of the junior class, de
livered the address to the graduating
class, and we predict for her the first
honor in the graduating class of 1888.
Miss Ida Aveilhe drew the junior medal
